Materials: mini hotdogs, cherry, whip cream, bowls
Messy Rating: Need a towel or two
Duration: Under 5 minutes
Cost: $5.00
5 bowls... ... now you have to prepare for this ahead of time... place a GERBERS mini hot dog and a GREEN cherry in the bowls. Then fill the bowl with whip cream.Keep cool.. not necessarily COLD or freezing... but you don't want it to go flat or sour... yuck.
Have five volunteer youth put on a trash bag with a towel around their neck... in order to not mess up their clothes. They have to sit down at a table w/ hands behind their back. Then... tell them that they have to find the cherry at the bottom of the bowl... except ... they "can not use their fingers!" (face first!) If someone finds a mini hot dog... you'll say " Oh Gee.... I wonder who's finger that was?! " hahah
Now... right before they start... you have to " make things a little more interesting" by adding red cherry or strawberry syrup to the whip cream. And I mean a BUNCH OF IT!!! First one to get the cherry in between their teeth wins! ... now they dive face first into the stuff and fish around for the cherry in the bowl... they emerge with pink fluffy whipped faces... and it's a blast!
